Additionally, the cost of surgery is high.

Hypnosis as an Alternative to Weight Loss Surgery:

The field of hypnosis has been used in achieving weight reduction for decades. It”s also not new for hypnosis to be used to simulate surgical procedures. But it was Martin and Marion Shirran who combined the two in their pioneering Gastric Mind Band GmB therapy as an alternative to gastric band surgery – that is weight loss surgery… without the surgery.

Since the introduction of the Shirran”s procedure John Maclean introduced his Hypno-Band and Sheila Granger her Virtual Gastric Band therapy. Collectively this therapy is being dubbed as Lap Band Hypnosis.

How does Lap Band Hypnosis work?

Lap band hypnosis aims to achieve the same effect as gastric band surgery by shrinking the size of your stomach using the power of hypnosis and your subconscious mind. The “implementation” of the adjustable gastric band is usually performed during the first hypnosis session and can involve elaborate props to simulate the “surgical” effect such as hospital sounds and smells.

Additional hypnosis sessions focus on modifying the individual”s eating habits so they”re satisfied on smaller amounts of food, make better food choices, eat slower to trigger the “full” signal from the brain earlier to stop eating, and exercise. As with the normal surgical procedure the gastric band “installed” can be adjusted and tightened in a subsequent hypnosis session if required.

Lap Band Hypnosis Results and Studies:

Results of lap band hypnosis procedures such as virtual gastric band are promising. Sheila Granger in the U.K. performed a study and achieved a 95% success rate for her participants. The Shirran”s report a 74% success for their GmB method in Europe.

My own study was conducted with 10 participants and achieved an average weight loss of 6.5 lbs in a three-week period during the challenging holiday season – usually the most difficult time to lose weight for most people. However, the results I achieved are right in line with other studies conducted in the U.S.

Undergoing surgery is no guarantee a person will lose weight, and

this is also true for lap band hypnosis procedures. Though hypnosis won”t be successful for everybody who needs to lose weight, procedures such as the virtual gastric band offer a viable, and affordable, risk-free alternative to those people facing surgery as their last resort.
